Try use like this:

element_selector = 'aOOlW.HoLwm'

def check_exists_by(selector, by=By.CLASS_NAME):
    try:
        driver.find_element(by, selector)
    except NoSuchElementException:
        return False
    return True

if check_exists_by(element_selector):
   driver.find_element_by_class_name(element_selector).click()

of course, you should import all of the modules:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

and it work if you have correct selector

if you want to check is displayed, not only present in dom, there's opportunity to add is_displayd flag:

def check_exists_by(selector, by=By.CLASS_NAME, is_displayed=True):
    try:
        el = driver.find_element(by, selector)
    except NoSuchElementException:
        return False
    if is_displayed:
       return el.is_displayed()
    return True
